GCW - 3D raytrace animations & images (1993)

Presenting more goodies from the 1993 "GCW" shareware CD-ROM, including some AutoDesk .FLI animations (such as the video's intro) -- which is such an obsolete format that I had to dig up an ancient Windows 3.1 program to convert them into .AVI video format -- as well as many spectacular raytraced images, which was the state of the art for 3-D imaging back then. Raytracing provides a photorealistic view of computer generated objects in space, but takes up a large amount of processing power to compute and render. Many of these images were created using AutoDesk 3D Studio and date from the late '80s and early '90s.

Musical accompaniment is provided from three Amiga .MOD songs: "Go-For-It," a.k.a. CAMBOD.MOD (a cover of the Kim Wilde song "Cambodia"), "Let's Swing It," and "Electric Church," featuring an unusual real sample of a Hammond B3 organ with Leslie!
